This close-up photo of the front of this TE shows the floodlight which came on whilst I was taking this photo. The notice below it has the following wording in red lettering: NOTE BEFORE WORKING ON THE ROOF PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FELT COVERING HAS A 15 YEAR GUARANTEE FROM 14TH OCTOBER 2005. GUIDANCE SHOULD BE OBTAINED AS TO WHAT WORK IS PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE GUARANTEE AND WHO SHOULD CARRY OUT THE WORK. A letterbox can also be seen to the right of the entrance although it probably gets very little post these days apart from electricity bills to cover the cost of running this TE 24/7.

Warbrook House hotel - Mansion, eastern frontage

The fine eastern façade of Warbrook House which was originally a country house designed and built by John James of Greenwich for his own use in 1727, and is now a hotel. This façade is effectively the front of the house. The original building was the taller central section (see SU7761 : Warbrook House hotel - The original house) the side wings having been added later (but still I think in the C18th or early C19th). See shared description below.

Warbrook House hotel - Autumnal tree in the grounds

A tree in striking golden autumnal livery in the grounds of Warbrook House hotel. The tree is on the far side of a canal which frames three sides of the lawn immediately to the west of the house, hence the life-belt on a pole bottom right. On this side of the canal in front of the tree can be seen a small dovecote. See shared description below:
